Hi,

Thank you for your query.

There is no simple or supported way to hide attachment button.

I have covered possible options along with drawback in this post:

If your purpose is block attachments in notes, the best approach is to create a run time workflow based on the File Size field and throw an error.

Here are steps to follow:

Go to Advanced Settings -> Processes.

Create a new Workflow (Realtime) for Note entity.

Trigger the workflow on:

Create

Update: select File Size field.

Run the workflow in Organization scope (depends on your requirement and security configuration).

Add a condition if Note Size is greater than 0

Stop Workflow as Cancelled (set error message in properties)

Activate the workflow

Now users can create notes with text but cannot attach any file.

Let me know if you need further clarification.

Best,

Wahaj
